Poor speeds Mansfield NG18

[alferret]

Not complaining (yet) anyone else in the Mansfield area noticed a drop in speeds?

My once perfect 10mb shows anything from 1.8mb to 6mb.

Yes I am NG18 and unusually it is VERY slow tonight. Anything to do with the snow?

Dont think so, but you never know. I can see the headlines now.

"Wrong kind of snow slows Virgin Broadband to a near stop"

In a press statement today a virgin representative claimed that the wrong kind of snow was to blame for the apparent slowness of its internet broadband service. "This along with our apparent poor infrastructure is to blame, but I'm sure it will all be ok at the weekend when the BIG THAW starts"

My 10Mb is running a bit slow tonight in NG17, not too far away. It's also running around 6Mb. But still ok for a bit of BF2.

Yes, only getting about 8 tonight, normaly full 20. UBR 10 :( Still more then enough for posting on cableforum though...;) I'm NG18 3** top of the hill.
Who ever is downloading the whole contents of the internet in NG18, please stop!!
Upgrades anyone?

Edit: now back up to speed.

Over the past few weeks Virgin media has gotten worse and worse IMHO, its night time and day time speeds have really taken a knocking. It appears virgin is seriously over subscribed in our area.
